Where pop culture and the social sciences COLLIDE! A satirical(?) blog analyzing mass media trends and a place to get all psychosocial about consumerism...even if you DON'T think the Internet is a principality of the US.

Join The Internet Is In America on Sunday, Oct. 16, for our LIVE play-by-play (well, more like possession-by-possession, but that shit is deathly for SEO) coverage of week 6's Raiders vs. Chiefs game. The shenanigans begin at 4 p.m. eastern time (with updates every commercial break) so be sure to bookmark this shit before kickoff. And as always, do us and yourselves a kindness and let all your fellow Raiders fans know what we're up to by posting links to our coverage on your social media pages. Hey, we're all in this together, remember (#silverandblacklivesmatter)...

12:36 p.m. - OK, I promise, unlike last week's aborted #SDvsOAK coverage, I won't accidentally delete the whole damn blog at the beginning of the third quarter. Like, super duper promise, for real, ya'll.12:38 p.m. - A whole lot of Raiders are questionable for today's outing, including Taiwan Jones, Matt McCants Malcolm Smith and Clive Walord. We know for sure Latavius Murray isn't suiting up for the game. 12:39 p.m. - Meanwhile, the only noticeable scratch for the Chiefs is linebacker Justin Houston. 12:40 p.m. - Vegas has K.C. as a -2 point favorite, with a 46 over/under. Interestingly, the Raiders have covered the spread twice this season as underdog. And oh yeah, they also won both of those contests.2:52 p.m. - All right, heads up folks. Mrs. Internet Is In America hasn't made the grocery store rounds yet, which means the likelihood of me being back in time for the 4 p.m. start is about negative zero percent. All that to say? I'll get to writin' when I get to writin'. 4:53 p.m. - All right, I am back in. The score is knotted up 7-7 at the 10 minute mark of the second quarter.4:54 p.m. - Charles gets a good block and picks up a 16-yard run. K.C is now at the OAK 35.4:55 p.m. - And a 26-yard pick up puts Kansas City right at the OAK 5.4:56 p.m. - Charles runs it up the gut for a six-yard touchdown run. And Santos misses the PAT. Chiefs still lead it, 13-7.4:58 p.m. - Raiders take over around their own 25. Cooper gains 12 and a new set of downs. 5:01 p.m. - Richard with a six, maybe seven yard run.5:02 p.m. - Third and seven coming up. And Cooper takes it down to the K.C. 37 on a 24-yard pick up. And now the Chiefs are challenging that Cooper stepped out of bounds.5:05 p.m. - The refs say it is indeed a catch and it costs Kansas City a timeout. 5:07 p.m. - Holmes gets eight yards on a nice catch and run.5:08 p.m. - The back gets crushed behind the line for a considerable loss.5:09 p.m. - Third and five. Roberts bobbles away the ball a yard shy of moving the chains. They go for it on fourth and five. Carr has to chuck it out of bounds.5:11 p.m. - Chiefs take over at their own 32. The Chiefs get about three yards on the run.5:12 p.m. - A 38-yard pick up for K.C. Amerson totally got torched on that one.5:13 p.m. - There's the two minute warning.5:14 p.m. - Charles tripped up, he gets about three on the play.5:16 p.m. - Second and 7 at the OAK 30. The receiver is stopped shy of the first down marker.5:17 p.m. - Third and one. Fifty seconds left in the half. And the back gets dropped WAY behind the line.5:18 p.m. - Fourth and three with twenty-four seconds on the clock. 5:19 p.m. - Santos tries a 38-yarder. And he misses this one, too.5:20 p.m. - Twenty-five seconds left in the half. Cooper takes it to the OAK 40.5:20 p.m. - The Raiders take a timeout.5:20 p.m. - Cooper with another pick up in Chiefs' territory.5:21 p.m. - Walford takes it well within field goal range. Carr spikes it with one second left. Here comes Sea-bass. Of course he makes it.5:23 p.m. - Our score at halftime? Kansas City leads it 13-10.5:25 p.m. - The Chiefs are clearly winning the run game, with 65 yards on the ground compared to Oakland's 28. However, the Raiders are outyarding K.C by air, 169 yards to 113. 5:26 p.m. - Oh, and Amari Cooper has 117 yards on just nine carries. Keep an eye on this one, fantasy footballers - the Coop may very well be on the verge of a 300-yard game.5:37 p.m. - Touchback for the Chiefs, so they'll take over at their own 25.5:38 p.m. - Conley gets a 13-yard pick-up.5:39 p.m. - Second and three. Conley pushes the ball to the OAK 48.5:40 p.m. - Spencer Ware breaks off a 41-yard run to put the Chiefs within the Raiders' five.5:41 p.m. - First and goal. An end-around trick play nets no yardage at all.5:41 p.m. - Second and goal. Charles stopped inches from the goal line.5:41 p.m. - And the defensive tackle, of all people, bulldozes his way into the end zone for the score.5:43 p.m. - The PAT is good.

Incomplete pass to Washington. Here comes the punting unit.5:49 p.m. - Flag down. And the kick returner goes down around midfield. 5:50 p.m. - It's an illegal formation calla gainst OAK. That'll shave five yards off the Chiefs' first set of downs.5:52 p.m. - Ware takes it down to the Raiders' 10. 5:54 p.m. - Small pick up on the ground on second and goal.5:54 p.m. - Maybe a two-yard pick up.

And Cooper drops it. Fourth and five, and the boo birds are out in full force.6:12 p.m. - And the Chiefs will take over at their own 22.6:13 p.m. - Ware with a close to ten yard gain. And that's the end of the third quarter. Chiefs still lead it, 23-10.6:15 p.m. - First and 10 for Kansas City at their own 40. Second and eight.6:17 p.m. - K.C at midfield.

Raiders at their own 20.6:31 p.m. - No dice on the end zone shot to Crabtree.6:32 p.m - Second and 10. Carr gets hit from behind and he fumbles the ball. Of course Kansas City recovers.

Chiefs punt it away.6:40 p.m. - Carrie goes down just shy of the 30. Three and a half minutes left in the fourth, and the Raiders need two touchdowns ... and two consecutive two-point conversions ... to tie this one up. 6:43 p.m. - Holding against the Raiders push them back 10 yards and a repeat on first down.6:44 p.m. - Richard absolutely jacked up for a one yard loss.6:45 p.m. - Second and 21.

And that's the two-minute warning.6:50 p.m. - Kansas City content with running out the clock. This has just been a shit-showing from the Raiders, far and away their worst this season.6:51 p.m. - And that is all she wrote in Oakland. The Raiders get their ass kicked on their home turf, 26-10. The only positive? For another week, at least, the Raiders remain atop the AFC West. Like I said, for at least another week.6:53 p.m. - By the way ... I fuckin' hate football, with a passion.

About Your Friendly Neighborhood Jimbo...

Greetings, Intraweb travelers! My name is Jimbo X (an unusual surname, I know...I think it's Greenlandic) and I'm your kindly proprietor of IIIA. You're probably wondering what the intent of this site is, so that makes two of us. I suppose it's an info-dump for all of the stuff that I find fascinating/irksome about American culture and society, so you'll find a nice jumble of high culture snobbery and low culture sleaze here. It's also a place for me to rant, rave and ramble about all sorts of things that matter and don't matter, so prepare yourself for some heavy-handed bloviating about politics and consumption. Well, that, and lots of stuff about video games and junk food. The things that matter the most obviously.
